Questions about this piece
Can you wear tights or socks with peep toe shoes?
Tights work if you buy the kind made for open-toe shoes, which have a seamless toe instead of the thick reinforced band that otherwise sits right in the opening and shows. Plain sheer tights will do in a pinch if you can tuck the seam under your toes. Socks are a different matter, and they are a deliberate look rather than a mistake now, though a fine ribbed sock reads better than a thick one with an open toe like this.
How do you keep shiny leather shoes from scuffing?
Most of it comes down to where they live between wearings. A shiny finish sits on the surface, so a scuff is usually finish that has been rubbed off rather than leather that has torn, which is why shoes tossed into a pile scuff faster than shoes kept apart. Wipe them with a soft damp cloth, let them dry away from heat, and store them so nothing presses against the upper. The upper on these is shiny leather, so the toe and the outer side are where to look first.
What size should I take in these?
Half a size down from your usual, because these run half a size big, so an 8 in most shoes is a 7.5 here. The heel is one inch and covered, wrapped in material rather than left as a bare block, and an inch is the height that buys you a little lift under a long pant hem without changing how you walk, so you can stand in them through a workday. They are made in Brazil, and the one pair here right now is a size 10.
